Notes:

It's really down to Kellogg 1Y and INSEAD for me; any thoughts on which you'd pick between the two? Goal is to get into a PM role at a big brand tech company; don't care if it's US or international. Having met many people from both, I honestly loved them all and feel like I'd fit in great at either program.

In my experience, it really does not reflect the real world, where Insead and Kellogg are overall very comparable, with a lot of people thinking Insead is the strongest of the 2. One other point you should think about is that you would be choosing a B program in Kellogg vs the mainstream program in Insead. I know they try to sell it as being the same, but it’s not and people generally know it. At least I know it from seeing J-term placement here at CBS, which is actually a closer program to the August entry than the 1Y is to the 2Y in kellogg. Anyway, I think you should go with fit and the concept of US vs Europe. If you think both are rigorously the same, I would go with Insead. (0)
